    I’ve got a 2009 530EXC that when you hit the starter button it just gives a whizzing sound like there is no engagement between the torque limiter and the starter motor. Anyone else had this issue? Just thought I’d throw it out there before I go pulling it down.

    Sounds like my old Massey Ferguson tractor every now and then :laugh: :laugh: Never had it on a KTM though. Grab a shifter and give the starter a tap or turn the engine over by putting it in a high gear and spinning the rear wheel. Then try the starter. Works every time for me but you may have an issue if it keeps doing it.

    Pulled it down last night and it looks like the sprag bearing is not engaging. Just nead to get a gear holder and pull the crank nut off and delve a bit further.
